Phoronix: AMD Catalyst 8.6 Linux Driver

In AMD's usual fashion, this afternoon they have announced the release of new display drivers for both Linux and Windows. The Catalyst 8.6 release for Linux introduces a few bug fixes, version 2.0 of their driver installation API, and a few unannounced features are present. As always, we have the run-down for you on this month's changes.

This always happens when I play a video file on my 2nd display. Do you notice the corruption around the borders? I have to move my cursor around those to get rid of them. It was always like this no matter what player, distribution... etc.

So don't you guys tell me video play back bettered! Not on my mobility radeon!

I'll save this post for the official 8.6 thread too, in case he doesn't read it.
